Notes
That was good! Went out a bit too slow but km 2 and 3 were fast, unfortunately died at 4 but killed 5. Later looked at the elevation profile and there was a sizeable hill (long but not too steep) at that point, knowing that would have been better as I’d understand why pace was slowing and be ready to push the downhill. Second in age category, and only about 5 seconds of my 2015 best time(s).
2 special k bars - 2:20 before
